Thank you for this review, as companies grow we have found that "punctual" often gets lost in the service package. We appreciate you mentioning that as we work hard to be different in that respect.

All work performed to our satisfaction.
Description of Work: PestNow treated a bee hive stuck to the rook of our home and also treated the perimeter of our home for general pest control services. We used them through an Angie's List BIG DEAL, which involves 1 year of services. The initial service was great and we look forward to having their services throughout the year.

Unfortunately, the mouse is still in the kitchen. Update: I haven't seen the mice since the follow-up visit, so far so good. I really appreciate PestNow's responsiveness and will use them again if another problem presents itself.
Description of Work: They inspected the house for mice and set some bait traps on the first visit. When I continued to see a mouse in my kitchen, the technician pulled out my oven and put some netting behind the gas hookups on the second visit. Update: PestNow contacted me after I first posted this review and scheduled a follow up visit at no additional charge. The technician put more mesh wire around the opening behind the stove, this time on the outside of the gas hookups.

If you had to deal with them yourself I would not even rated a B, that is what you pay us for. It is not unusual to have a stubborn problem but that is why we urge customers to use the free warranty if it is too difficult we send a team of managers in to access and solve the problem. We want to do our very best at each service, I am sorry you had to deal with anything on your own. I hope you will give us a chance to earn this confidence back.

When I called I told the girl on the phone scheduling the appointment that I had squirrels in the attic and need them removed and I didn't know how they were getting in. She scheduled the inspector to come out two days after that. The inspection was going to be free, so that I was very happy about. When the gentlemen came, he was right on time, however when he called to tell me he was on the way, I told him again, squirrels in the attic. This is where it got a little strange. He said, well I don't have a ladder or anything to get on the roof or the attic. Huh? If I told the girl that there the problem was in the attic, I wondered why he didn't come prepared. Okay, bigons, I'm flexible. No problem, I have a ladder - a small one. I showed him where the noise was coming from and then were the entry to the attic was. He looked in the attic, said there were a lot of mouse droppings and at that time he believed the problem to be mice. Then he took my small ladder and went out to the deck where he was able to make his way on the roof (he was wearing nicely pressed Caci pants and a polo type shirt - to come and inspect for rodents...) He did find an entry way on the other side of the house where squirrels were noticeably coming in and out. After this he climbed down and told me that squirrel removal was a bit expensive, but they would treat for mice at the same time and he would "throw that in for free" at a total cost of 650.00 (this was with the whopping $30.00 off Angies List coupon) He said that they would come out, remove the squirrel and treat for the mice and that the squirrel would be guaranteed for a few year (cant' remember the exact) and the mice 3 months - and they could treat for mice every three months on a annually payment plan. They would poison the mice and they would die and decay quickly in the attic and the squirrel would be caught and released away from the house. That was the explanation. I scheduled this for the following day - then after a few hours of thought I decided it was a lot of money! I knew very little about their procedures, the inspector wasn't prepared or efficient and the price was just too high - altogether after some thought, I was unimpressed. So to round out the story I called another company (Adcocks Trapping Service) who came out - thoroughly inspected the attic and the outside, explained that mice droppings were very old and didn't see anything very new and that I indeed did have squirrels. The girl I made an appointment with and the gentleman that came to the house were very detailed on their plans and methods to capture the squirrels. I knew the methods before he even go there and he filled in the gaps with my particular situation. They would come to the house everyday until they stopped catching squirrels and then they would reseal the hole and fix some rotting wood that I had no idea was there and surely wasn't pointed out by the last inspector. I have had six squirrels removed from my attic. They have come everyday for over a week and a half, checked the traps and reset them and taken the squirrels to their "new home" and will be coming this week to repair the damage so no more can get in. They guarantee their work for 10 YEARS - AND I have only spent $425. Thanks to them I'm knowledgable and can now sleep past 6am without hearing scratches on the ceiling :-)
Description of Work: I had the company come out and inspect the roof and attic for squirrels and mice. I knew I had squirrels, but didn't know how to get rid of them or where they were coming from.

They install a Sentricon brand termite bait & control system for about $650 or more, and they inspect it quarterly. In subsequent years you pay $350 for just the quarterly inspections. The bait stations are plastic spikes that are inserted into the ground. They contain wood that attracts termites more than the wood in your house, and it contains a colony eliminating poison that they take back to the colony. The company scans the stations quarterly with an electronic wand, sort of like a metal detector, which detects whether there was any termite activity. If I never have any new termite activity in my house, then i will know it works. Sentricon bait stations are a Dow product. Before getting the termite bait stations service, I was paying them about $99 a year to do a "termite inspection." The inspection consisted of a moderately trained person coming and shining a flashlight around the rafters of my basement looking for mud termite tubes. I felt like that was a waste of money since I can look at the wood rafters in my basement for mud termite tubes. They did not even look at the 80% of my basement that has moveable ceiling tiles covering the wood rafters! Waste of money. The Sentricon station service offers a lot more, even though it is 3.5 times more expensive each year. I called with a concern once and they responded to my question promptly and knowledgeably to my full satisfaction.

Thank you for this review. It may interest you to know that we are in the process of converting to "Always Active" which DOW has a bait that allows us to install into every station instead of the old wood monitoring sticks. This always us to keep product available in the event you get contact. Much better, more aggressive and efficient. Again, thank you for this input.

I have been a homeowner in several different states over the last 15 years. I have dealt with many different companies who come to my home for various services. Without a doubt, Technician Jason Fines of the Fredericksburg VA office is the absolute best example of what customer service should be. He goes beyond the expectations I have and is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the work he performs. I will continue to use this company as long as they continue to employ Technicians like Jason. I would recommend this company to anyone in the need of pest control.

Technicial was very prompt (so prompt he actually had to wait a few minutes for me since I had assumed that like most contractors they would not be on time). Technicial explain exactly what he was doing and why along with what follow up would be needed to prevent mice from reoccuring. Also no hard sell or upsell to sing me up for an extermination service contract, he did mention it was available but that was it. Very professional.
Description of Work: I had been dealing with a mouse problem for close to two years. Pestnow got rid of the mice in one visit, with a follow up visit to make sure they did not come back.

I bought this USD 340 annual treatments (4 times) deal because I had some ants problems. The job was done in about 25 mins each time. It took about a month for ants to die down. The staff didn't try to locate the ant nest and just randomly sprayed the premises. I would say the job is done so far. But it is winter, we will see how it goes when next spring comes. For a $340 deal, it is cheaper compared to those offered in DC area.
Description of Work: He sprayed the house and removed spider webs.

Thank you for this review, without input like this we would never catch this failure. It is a failure because we should take more time and attempt to locate the nest. This is a training point now and we can use it on the specific branch to make our service better. Being "cheaper" is not our goal, being more efficient at a lower cost is what we are tying to get to in an overall package. Your review will help us correct this....thanks

We were having problems with ants coming into the house at the start of spring and decided it was more than we could handle on our own. So I did a search on the list and saw that PestNow had good reviews and had a special deal for Aggie List members. We signed them up and they have been to their word as for the initial visit and subsequent visits, mainly scheduled but also at least once when we needed a quick response. However, there biggest help was providing prompt service when we needed a termite inspection and certification done quickly to meet our refinancing closing date. The financial institution had originally contracted with a nationwide termite company but they were unresponsive. When I had permission to see about using PestNow, they responded quickly (a day or two) so we could close on time.
Description of Work: Under a yearly service (around $340 but it was $85 per visit after the first initial spray), they came out to the house once per quarter and sprayed the outside next to the house to control ants and other pest and inside as needed. We also contracted with them for the termite inspection and protection as part of refinancing of our home.

We are about 3/4 into our 1 year contract with PestNow. We are extremely satisfied with the level of service we receive. I especially value that the same technician comes out every time. He is aware of our concerns and issues. Not only does he treat for the pests, he goes above and beyond with offering suggestions on prevention as well as following up to make sure we don't run into the same problems we've had before. I love the fact that when I call to schedule an appointment, I can have one as early as the next day if needed and that the technician is always timely. We will definitely renew when the time comes.

Thank you for this review, it points out two very critical issues. First, the same technician coming out. We have little or no turnover, we keep the tech in the same area for just that reason, he knows your house and potential problems it could encounter. Second, response, communication and response are essential and critical to good business....without that, there will be no business.

Appreciate the second thought, it was honest and there is always buyers remorse once you see a technician do something that made it look easy and maybe you could have. Roach treatment is specific work and roaches are difficult, however it really is not as easy as it appears. Products have changed over the years that give us far more efficient success against roaches. Again, thank you for this honest review.

Two guys came out and were very nice. They showed up exactly on time and were easy to schedule. However, I don't think they knew a ton about pests. Every time I would ask them a question (where are the ants coming from), they would suggest that I should have had their expert come out to make a treatment plan. The thing that really bothered me is that when I called to schedule the service, they suggested that I sign up for quarterly service at a slightly discounted rate. I decided not to do so and paid the higher rate. Three months later I have a hanger on my door with a bill for $89 saying that a person came out to treat and could not get in, but that they had treated the outside. When I called to complain, the service center didn't really act surprised and cancelled the bill and service. I'm glad that I didn't need to argue with them, but it makes me feel like they just sign you up for the quarterly whether you want it or not and then make you call to cancel.

The failure was communication after reviewing the case and thank you for allowing us to research this. The reason the call center did not argue is they were complying with your desire to cancel, had they argued I dare say it would have offended you more so it appears we were in a no win situation. We do not routinely assign quarterly treatment, the prescription is based on what you described to the inspector on the phone. The failure was ours, however, it was in communication as the service recommended was not explained apparently enough and the technician doing the service did not support it or further explain it. We apologize for that failure and will use this as a training exercise. These reviews are critical in our training.
